I've linked this from http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/edit/google/gci2014/5819410270912512
100 wikis is a ridiculously high number, even finding 1 may require hours of research. I suggest instead to make it 20 companies. Clear steps are needed, see also https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MarkAHershberger&diff=prev&oldid=1291326

Before the task can be approved, you need to establish how this information will be published. We have [[Sites using MediaWiki]] of course, but it's probably easier to use wikiapiary: @Kghbln or @thingles can tell whether it's ok to create pages for non-public wikis of important companies.

As far as I am concerned information about these wikis may go into Wikiapiary. It is just a matter of adding a different category and providing an extra status flag "private" which avoids the defunct warnings as well as data collection.

Thanks, seems straightforward enough to me. Palexis, MarkAHershberger, Mglaser, let me know if you need help to set up the wiki pages and clarify the task.

I would totally be excited about WikiApiary being used to support this project. I think we could easily add a "Private" flag. In fact, on the roadmap is a feature to allow Bumble Bee to login to a remote wiki as a user to get statistics (for sites that have Read API Denied for public). Having flags of "Public, Login, Private" would make sense to facilitate this.

Should we add the flag now? When is it needed by?

Created #212 for this as well.

Hi all, sorry for not responding sooner. This is an area with huge potential and the expressed concerns are valid.

Today is the end of Code-in 2014. It looks like this will have to be done by volunteers outside of Code-in 2014, or for Code-in 2015, maybe after more discussion about how to do this so that the concerns are addressed, WikiApiary has had time to set up the support for this project, and the instruction for the task is better defined?
